As Rebellion Racing celebrated its tenth anniversary in Switzerland last Wednesday, the team announced its return to the LMP1 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The news came at the opening of an exhibition of 24 cars that all have ties to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, including Marcel Fässler’s Audi R18 and Neel Jani’s Porsche 919 Hybrid, winners in 2011 and 2016 respectively.

Christmas has come early for car enthusiasts in the Lausanne region with an exhibition set to run until 20 December at the Speedy Garage premises (Rebellion Racing was previously known as Speed Racing Team Sebah). The show features 24 iconic cars that competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1955 and 2016. The oldest is the MG EX182 of Swiss Hans Waeffler, who finished 17th in 1955, and the most recent the 2016 winner, the Porsche 919 Hybrid.

Almost all the cars were raced by Swiss drivers and include current and older models fielded by Rebellion Racing, renamed Vaillante Rebellion for 2017, with two Spykers, two Lolas, an R-One LMP1 and the Oreca 07 that the team drove to the LMP2 FIA World Endurance Championship title this season.
